About the piece

Painted in 1907 by Frank Thomas Copnall, this atmospheric work captures the grand RMS Mauretania navigating the hazy River Mersey during its maiden year. The artist uses a soft, impressionistic technique to depict the ship's iconic red funnels against a backdrop of industrial smoke and shimmering water, beautifully evoking the golden age of steam travel.
